Improving Data Integration through Disambiguation Techniques
This event took place on Wednesday 23 July 2008 at 11:30

 
Ing. Laura Po University of Modena e Reggio

In this talk I will show how disambiguation techniques can be use to improved Data Integration. In particular, I will briefly illustrate how performing the disambiguation of source elements can supply some useful relationships for the integration process. I will show the CWSD algorithm (Combined Word Sense Disambiguation) we have developed at the DBGROUP at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Then I will point out some new ideas on a probabilistic way to combine different WSD algorithms.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
